Facebook unveils music partnerships with Spotify, Rhapsody, Vevo at f8

Mark Zuckerberg has revealed Facebook's latest features that integrate with several popular music services, including Spotify and Rhapsody.

Speaking at the f8 conference, Zuckerberg and fellow CEO Daniel Ek explained how their latest features will allow users to see what their friends are listening to as well as being able to play music tracks through Facebook.

He said: "This year, we're taking the next step; we're going to make it so you can connect to anything you want, the way you want.

"You don't have to like a book, you can read a book. You don't have to like a movie, but you can watch a movie. You can just eat a meal, you can hike a trail, you can listen to a song.

"The new class of apps will help you post stuff to your Timeline but also find new things you might like. It's a frictionless experience. If your goal is to just add lightweight activity, you'll never have to see one of these prompts ever again.

"So to make this work, we completely redesigned the permissions dialog so that the entire reason you're adding an app, you're doing so to get that activity on your wall."
